10.4: Disable the installation of Dashboard Widgets
Authored by: critcol on May 12, '06 11:34:01AM

Disabling the Widget Installer gets around Ben's exploit of not installing but running the widget. It's the widget installer which provides the dialogue that lets you switch Install to Run.

And repairing permissions will maintain the User's No Access Widget folder, and turns the ./libary widget folder into Read Only.

PS, Ben, thank's for that handy widget install tip.

10.4: Disable the installation of Dashboard Widgets

However, you can still Show Package Contents and then run the Widget directly through an internet browser. I believe the Widget has the same security access this way as running with the Installer.
